Am I a gun nerd because this excites me?

I even had to call my hunting and shooting buddy.

I didn't go as far to call my buddies, but I am excited.  Sounds like a great compromise between the two bullets that shoot fantastic out of all my .22 centerfires, 52gr Hornady Match Hollow Points and the 55gr Vmax.  Can't wait to give them a try.

Must be a completely different shape to have a .290 ballistic coefficient, seeing as the 55 gr V-Max is only rated at a b/c of .255.  Have to try and take a look at them.

I've wondered for years how a 55 grain .243 could have a BC of .275 and a .224 have a bc in the .250 range.
